Has anyone checked on them lately?

Yeah, it's only been 2 weeks since the Spider-Man Disney Plus show.

My 7 year old likes it. I can watch it without wanting to gouge my own eyes out. 2 thumbs up.
I saw that cartoon on my feed and it looks like the most unnecessary, almost exact copy of the Tom holland version, but in cartoon. Why? Nothing new and it just uses the same aesthetic as the movie
- Its a different story overall, and just to say its actually much better than I was expecting.
  The character designs match, but it is absolutely not the MCU story. Norman Osborn becomes Peter's mentor, not Stark, which should speak to how different it becomes.
- I’ve watched part of it and really enjoy it so far. To say there’s nothing new I don’t think is right. It presents a lot of classic Spider-Man tropes and intentionally swerves them.
  It got solid reviews on IMDB, which is usually how I judge the worthiness of shows.
- Nothing new
  It's 99% new and different from the MCU. The 1% are small nods to the MCU.
  For example in both Peter is out and finds a broken DVD player, then he brings it home and tells May how excited he is that someone threw away a perfectly functioning (obviously broken) DVD player. All the while missing that his future mentor is on the couch, talking to May.
  Or as the series progresses we learn that certain events that occured in the MCU also exist in this world.
  Overall however it is a completely new Spider-Man. (Yes, Spider-Man interacts with well know Spider-Man characters, but not following any previously written story.)
- It was originally going to be Tom Holland’s Spiderman origin story, but was changed to be its own canon.

It's because the contract sony signed with marvel back in the day stipulated that they must create a new Spider-Man movie every few years or lose the rights.

The contract specifies two key production windows:

Sony must start production within 3 years and 9 months after the previous film's release They must release the next film within 5 years and 9 months after the previous film's release There's also an important exception: if Sony releases three pictures within eight consecutive years, they can extend these deadlines to 5 years for starting production and 7 years for release

MCU Spider-Man 4 is planned to release next summer, so they're good.

We also haven't had Spider pig in a movie in a long time.

He is just doing what a spider pig does.
Wasn't he in both Spiderverse films?
- No, that was Spider-Ham. Spider Pig was in the Simpsons movie.
- And the Simpson's Movie.

I need someone else to give me the "With great power..." speech as they die.

Since at some level we're all dying, I feel like I can safely tell you that with great power there must also come -- great responsibility!
Or were you looking for "Remember, with great power comes great responsibility" from the movie?
Or possibly "All power corrupts, absolute power..." "... is even more fun" if you prefer old school BOFH to Spider-Man.

To busy remaking fantastic four

I like the idea that all Spider-man films are just remakes of the first Sam Raimi one, like that production company who only had the rights to make Bond as long as it was Thunderball.

Actually, a new Spider-Man show came out last month

Which was... A couple of weeks ago... Smh
/S

Spider-man should fight cops and the mayor

Wrapping Mayor Adams in a big cocoon and dangling him from a lightpost would be such a vibe right now

They're busy with their current Fantastic Four remake.

They will give it a generic Hollywood oversize overused buzzword name like, Spider-man Rising or i spider-man. They love naming movies that shit

2 Spider 2 Man
Sman
If things continue like they are currently, I would not be surprised to see a new Spiderman movie in the next 5 - 10 years that's just "Spider-Man" "The Spider-Man" or "Spider-Man One".

They're on the verge of having 2 Batman's at once though, which will be a first.

That Flash movie had 3 different Batmen!
- It's actually batmani

The reason they do this is because of licensing contracts. They have to use the rights or lose them.

It's also why Batman doesn't show up in TV and Movies lately, Disney has the rights because they purchased Fox even though WB owns the character.

READ YOUR CONTRACTS, CHILDREN.

Batman is a DC character, not Marvel. So Disney doesn't own them.
Batman had a live action film in 2022, with a sequel in production.
Batman cameoed in an animated TV series earlier this year.
Batman had his own animated TV series on Amazon last year, with a second season planned.
Batman appears in animated films about once a year.
- If you're talking about the flash cameo, many fans were quick to point out that it had its ears digitally removed. That wasn't BatMan. That was Man.
  20th Centurt Fox owned the televised rights to Batman, meaning without permission from Disney there are no new televised appearances of him. Even the Batman animated series were on Fox.
  I think even Teen Titans original series excluded Batman.
  There are different rights and types of ownership for these things. One person can own the merchandising rights while another owns the rights to distribute media.

I wish they would stop remaking these stories, just keep the story line going and change actors along the way as they age out. How many people actually care about which actor is playing the hero this movie?

Ummm a lot? The actor makes such a huge difference.
- I would normally disagree but I howled when Tobey Maguire made a cameo

It's because they're working on a Batman remake.
